If the G forces on your back are inversely proportional to number of inches 
of stuff that has to compress before the vertical component of your velocity 
reaches zero, it seems to me gear down is better on your back.    Not sure 
how to trade that off against the fire hazard.   In an LIV I would 
definitely go with gear down.
